IC Character Name: Zack Tybalt
1) Please write a minimum of 3 paragraphs OOC'ly detailing why your character wishes to join the Combine Civil Authority and what lead your character to do so. After seeing his father mugged and eventually shot, a young Zack had developed an undying hate for crime of any form. Today, he was just transferred to city 45, and with an unusual case of OCD, hated every minute of living there. The rebels, the petty crime, the lack of order. He despised this city. He felt the city despised him. He thought he would never find a place in society.
One day he was mugged by a rebel needing money for contraband. While he is a good fighter, this rebel was obviously trained, and got the best of him. All Zack felt was one pound after another as the man pressed his knees on Zack's chest, punching his face. Then, a
ZAP. Then peace. Zack sat up, looking at a Civil Protection Unit repeatedly beat the vagabond rebel with a stunstick. He admired the CPU, who was a perfect example of a peacekeeper. Zack then walked home, knowing the Civil Protection would keep the streets clear of thugs.
After a long day at work, Zack collected his rations, then set off for his apartment. He saw a woman being beaten brutally by some groggy old man. Quickly picking up a soda can, he threw it at the old guy. Enraged, he turned around to see a fist well aimed at his face. Precisely two seconds later, the same man was lying on the pavement in a pool of blood caused by his broken nose. The bruised woman asked Zack if he was alright. He didn't answer. Instead, he set off straight for the Combine Civil Authority application center.
2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)Lawful, Fair-minded, responsible
3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?OOC: I have experience with both Rebel classes and CP classes under my belt. Out of the two, I like the CP role the best. Having someone run to you for help is a hell of a lot better than making someone run for help. Spawning with a tool used to take life away is a great responsibility, and knowing that somebody's safety rests within it is a feeling RP was made for.
IC: Having OCD, Zack will find himself patrolling constantly, making sure everyone is in check. He would find it stressful at times, but regardless of the obstacles, he belongs on the Civil Protection force. While he may overreact to petty crimes, he will hesitate to shoot the suspect dead, as his childhood experience has traumatized him. Zack will be a valuable asset to his unit, and will always use his power as a CP responsibly.
4) Please provide a detailed back-story from an out-of-character perspective on your applying character. This section must be detailed and consist of a minimum of 300 words.At age 7, Zack Tybalt witnessed his father stabbed to death by a man wanting money to support his cocaine addiction. Since then, Zack Has despised crime in any form, even scolding his friends for driving over the speed limit. He took refuge in an abandoned hospital during the Seven Hour War. Surrendering to the Combine, he was allowed to live and was transferred from city to city, eventually ending up in City 45, a crime ridden atrocity, at least, when Zack got there. The civil protection inspired Zack, who was a target of thugs because of his scrawny appearance. His apartment was nothing more than a single room with a light, toilet, sink, and bed. He read the newspaper regularly, and learned how the Civil Protection got top notch accommodations. He would consider joining, but for the moment would keep his current job. It was true, Zack wasn't the strongest of people, but he did know how to fight. With short brown hair, dark eyes, and a head standing 5'7 from the ground, he would be intimidating if he weren't so slender. He never bulked up through puberty, and people have taken advantage of his unusual circumstances. Zack took Karate when he was five, but his methods of fighting are more of a street style. Zack has been to prison once, before the Combine came, for throwing a rock at someone for running a red light on his street, breaking their window.. Whilst in prison, he was kept in custody for an unusual period of time despite the crime on account of getting into a fight with the other criminals who showed no remorse for their crimes. This hardened Zack, who would never forget leaving the place designed to hold those he despised. All of these events are why Zack Tybalt is filling out his application this very minute.

Denied- Backstory's chronology is out of order. Much of your character's fighting skill would have eroded away by the time the character is in C45.
